OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WLOX) – Water is no longer flowing from the Advance Auto Parts store in Ocean Springs. Many speculated that the mysterious water leak came from a ruptured natural spring, but the city now confirms that this was not the case.

The water leak came from an old water main that was not shut off when the building was renovated years ago, the city told WLOX News. That’s why when the city turned off the building’s water, the water continued to pour out of the ground.

Advance Auto Parts hired a contractor to gut the building and renovate the floors, but did not say whether the Ocean Springs location is among its 700 in the United States.
